Slideshow Viz error

[ontarget]

Hi I am trying to create a slideshow from a list.
The element I wish to use for the images is a dropdown field which renders as an image.
So if a user selects option1 then the image option1.png shows up
It renders perfectly in list view however when I try to show the image in the slide show joomla error reporting shows:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method PlgFabrik_ElementDropdown::getStorage() in /home/xxxx/public_html/newsite/plugins/fabrik_visualization/slideshow/models/slideshow.php on line 235

Line 235 is:
else
{
233 $tmp = json_decode($pic->$slideshow_viz_file);
234 $k = $tmp == false ? $pic->$slideshow_viz_file : $tmp[0];
235 $pic_opts['href'] = $slideElement->getStorage()->getFileUrl($k, 0);
$this->addThumbOpts($pic_opts);

if (!empty($k))
{
$js_opts->$k = $pic_opts;
}
}


I have tried chaning the dropdown element plugin from TEXT to LONGBLOB to see if that will render the image but still the same error - does anyone know how to fix this?

I think the slideshow viz is thought to be working with a fileupload element.

Thanks but was trying to render the images loaded via the dropdown (show icons setting in the dropdown element) in the slideshow viz.
Alternative is some kind of scrolling / marquee effect on a the list.
